AKE SURE THAT THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED TO AN ANALOG PORT

analog port on the PBX. You may need a digital line converter that converts digital signals into analog signals.

AKE SURE TO FREE UP PRINTER MEMORY
The printer saves an incoming fax to the printer memory before it prints the fax. If the printer runs out of ink or
runs out of paper while receiving the fax, then the printer saves the fax so you can print it later. However, if the
printer memory is full, then the printer may not be able to receive more incoming faxes. An error message
appears on the touch screen when the printer memory is full. Resolve the error to free up space in the printer
memory.
